## What is Storm Snap?

StormSnap helps you photograph lightning by watching the live camera preview and detecting sudden flashes on device.

Stabilize your iPhone, point it toward the storm, choose a sensitivity level, and tap Start Capturing. When StormSnap detects a lightning flash, it opens Strike Replay so you can review candidate frames and save the best one to Photos.

Features:
• Live camera preview
• On-device lightning flash detection
• Strike Replay with candidate frame selection
• Tap-to-focus target
• Pinch to zoom
• Focus and exposure controls
• High-quality photo saving
• Battery-friendly mode
• Optional location metadata
• Privacy-first local processing

Free users can save up to 20 successful lightning captures. StormSnap Pro unlocks unlimited saves and advanced features with one lifetime purchase.

No ads. No subscriptions. Unlock StormSnap once and keep it forever.

Safety notice:
Photograph storms only from a safe location. Stay indoors or inside a suitable vehicle during lightning. StormSnap does not provide weather or safety warnings.
